How much cargo is carried by trains in your country/in other countries? What influences the use of trains in a country – harbors/water access for ships, terrain, expense…
What problems are trains facing today? Design a better/faster train? Build a model train. The history of model trains…
What is the inside of Queen Elizabeth’s private train car like? Design a private train car fit for a queen. That would be my project!
